Abstract
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of 1-year treatment with nilotinib (Tasigna®) in patients with autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia (ADSCA) and the factors associated with responsiveness. From an institutional cohort, patients with ADSCA who completed a 1-year treatment with nilotinib (150-300 mg/day) were included. Ataxia severity was assessed using the Scale for the Rating and Assessment of Ataxia (SARA), scores at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. A subject was categorized 'responsive' when the SARA score reduction at 12 M was > 0. Pretreatment serum proteomic analysis included subjects with the highest (n = 5) and lowest (n = 5) SARA score change at 12 months and five non-ataxia controls. Thirty-two subjects (18 [56.2%] females, median age 42 [30-49.5] years) were included. Although SARA score at 12 M did not significantly improve in overall population, 20 (62.5%) subjects were categorized as responsive. Serum proteomic analysis identified 4 differentially expressed proteins, leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG1), vitamin-D binding protein (DBP), and C4b-binding protein (C4BP) beta and alpha chain, which are involved in the autophagy process. This preliminary data suggests that nilotinib might improve ataxia severity in some patients with ADSCA. Serum protein markers might be a clue to predict the response to nilotinib.Trial Registration Information: Effect of Nilotinib in Cerebellar Ataxia Patients (NCT03932669, date of submission 01/05/2019).

Integrated proteomic and genomic analysis to identify predictive biomarkers for valproate response in bipolar disorder: a 6-month follow-up study. Int J Bipolar Disord 2024; 12:19. [PMID: 38758284 PMCID: PMC11101393 DOI: 10.1186/s40345-024-00342-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several genetic studies have been undertaken to elucidate the intricate interplay between genetics and drug responses in bipolar disorder (BD). However, there has been notably limited research on biomarkers specifically linked to valproate, with only a few studies investigating integrated proteomic and genomic factors in response to valproate treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to identify biological markers for the therapeutic response to valproate treatment in BD. Patients with BD in remission were assessed only at baseline, whereas those experiencing acute mood episodes were evaluated at three points (baseline, 8 ± 2 weeks, and 6 ± 1 months). The response to valproate treatment was measured using the Alda scale, with individuals scoring an Alda A score ≥ 5 categorized into the acute-valproate responder (acute-VPAR) group. We analyzed 158 peptides (92 proteins) from peripheral blood samples using multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry, and proteomic result-guided candidate gene association analyses, with 1,627 single nucleotide variants (SNVs), were performed using the Korean chip. RESULTS The markers of 37 peptides (27 protein) showed temporal upregulation, indicating possible association with response to valproate treatment. A total of 58 SNVs in 22 genes and 37 SNVs in 16 genes showed nominally significant associations with the Alda A continuous score and the acute-VPAR group, respectively. No SNVs reached the genome-wide significance threshold; however, three SNVs (rs115788299, rs11563197, and rs117669164) in the secreted phosphoprotein 2 gene reached a gene-based false discovery rate-corrected significance threshold with response to valproate treatment. Significant markers were associated with the pathophysiological processes of bipolar disorders, including the immune response, acute phase reaction, and coagulation cascade. These results suggest that valproate effectively suppresses mechanisms associated with disease progression. CONCLUSIONS The markers identified in this study could be valuable indicators of the underlying mechanisms associated with response to valproate treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prevalence of generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is high. However, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Proteomics techniques can be employed to assess the pathological mechanisms involved in GAD. METHODS Twenty-two drug-naive GAD patients were recruited, their serum samples were used for protein quantification and identified using Tandem Mass Tag and Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM). Machine learning models were employed to construct predictive models for disease occurrence by using clinical scores and target proteins as input variables. RESULTS A total of 991 proteins were differentially expressed between GAD and healthy participants. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that these proteins were significantly associated with stress response and biological regulation, suggesting a significant implication in anxiety disorders. MRM validation revealed evident disparities in 12 specific proteins. The machine learning model found a set of five proteins accurately predicting the occurrence of the disease at a rate of 87.5%, such as alpha 1B-glycoprotein, complement component 4 A, transferrin, V3-3, and defensin alpha 1. These proteins had a functional association with immune inflammation. CONCLUSIONS The development of generalised anxiety disorder might be closely linked to the immune inflammatory stress response.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high mortality and disability rate. Numerous basic studies on pathogenesis and therapeutics have been performed in mice. However, the consistency of the experimental mouse model and the human ICH patient remains unclear. This has slowed progress in translational medicine. Furthermore, effective therapeutic targets and reliable regulatory networks for ICH are needed. Therefore, we determined the differentially expressed (DE) messenger RNAs (mRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) before and after murine ICH and analyzed their regulatory relationships. Subsequently, data on mRNAs from human peripheral blood after ICH were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The DE mRNAs after human ICH were compared with those of the mouse. Finally, we obtained seven genes with translational medicine research value and verified them in mice. Then the regulatory network of these genes was analyzed in humans. Similarly, species homologies of these regulatory pathways were identified. In conclusion, we found that the mouse ICH model mimics the human disease mainly in terms of chemokines and inflammatory factors. This has important implications for future research into the mechanisms of ICH injury and repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Recent evidence has highlighted the benefits of early detection and treatment for better clinical outcomes in patients with psychosis. Biological markers of the disease have become a focal point of research. This study aimed to identify protein markers detectable in the early stages of psychosis and indicators of progression by comparing them with those of healthy controls (HC) and first episode psychosis (FEP). STUDY DESIGN The participants comprised 28 patients in the clinical high-risk (CHR) group, 49 patients with FEP, and 61 HCs aged 15-35 years. Blood samples were collected and analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry to measure the expression of 158 peptide targets. Data were adjusted for age, sex, and use of psychotropic drugs. STUDY RESULTS A total of 18 peptides (17 proteins) differed significantly among the groups. The protein PRDX2 was higher in the FEP group than in the CHR and HC groups and showed increased expression according to disease progression. The levels of six proteins were significantly higher in the FEP group than in the CHR group. Nine proteins differed significantly in the CHR group compared to the other groups. Sixteen proteins were significantly correlated with symptom severity. These proteins are primarily related to the coagulation cascade, inflammatory response, brain structure, and synaptic plasticity. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that peripheral protein markers reflect disease progression in patients with psychosis. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm these findings and to identify the specific roles of these markers in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection and bipolar disorder (BD) is poorly understood. This review explores this relationship by estimating the strength of the association between the two conditions using data from published studies. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a review and meta-analysis of published articles obtained from a systematic search of PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE and the Cochrane library up to January 10th, 2021. We included observational studies that compared seroprevalence of IgG class antibodies against T. gondii in patients with a diagnosis of BD with healthy controls. We excluded studies that included <10 participants in each study arm and patients with a serious concomitant medical illness. Discrepancies between the two independent researchers were resolved by consulting a third experienced researcher. Summary data were extracted from published reports. Analysis was conducted using both fixed-effects and random-effects models. The study is registered with PROSPERO number CRD42021237809. FINDINGS The search yielded 23 independent studies with a total of 12690 participants (4021 with BD and 8669 controls). Persons with BD had a greater odd of seropositivity with toxoplasmosis than controls, both in the fixed-effects model (OR = 1.34 [95%CI: 1.19 to 1.51]) and the random-effects model (OR = 1.69 [95%CI: 1.21 to 2.36]). No publication bias was detected but reported results showed a high heterogeneity (I2 = 84% [95%CI:77%-89%]). INTERPRETATION The findings support the relationship between toxoplasmosis infection and BD and suggests a need for studies designed to explore possible causal relationship. Such studies may also improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of BD and open other avenues for its treatment. FUNDING P.O.R. Sardegna F.S.E. 2014-2020.

Abstract
Although early intervention may help prevent the progression of bipolar disorder, there are some controversies over early pharmacological intervention. In this study, we recruited 40 subjects in the prodromal stage of BD-II (BP), according to bipolar at-risk state criteria. We compared the expression of their plasma proteins with that of 48 BD-II and 75 healthy control (HC) to identify markers that could be detected in a high-risk state. The multiple reaction monitoring method was used to measure target peptide levels with high accuracy. A total of 26 significant peptides were identified through analysis of variance with multiple comparisons, of which 19 were differentially expressed in the BP group when compared to the BD-II and HC groups. Two proteins were overexpressed in the BP group; and were related to pro-inflammation and impaired neurotransmission. The other under-expressed peptides in the BP group were related to blood coagulation, immune reactions, lipid metabolism, and the synaptic plasticity. In this study, significant markers observed in the BP group have been reported in patients with psychiatric disorders. Overall, the results suggest that the pathophysiological changes included in BD-II had already occurred with BP, thus justifying early pharmacological treatment to prevent disease progression.

Abstract
The proteomics data included in this article supplement the research article titled "Predictive protein markers for the severity of depression in mood disorders: A preliminary trans-diagnostic approach study (manuscript ID: JPSYCHIATRES-D-20-00437)." Plasma protein was analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This data article included 370 plasma protein profiles expressed in patients with bipolar II disorder (BD-II) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The tables present the comparison of protein expressions between BD-II and MDD, and the relationship between the severity of the depressive symptoms and protein expression. In addition, details of results adjusting the use of each psychotropic medication (antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants) for 20 proteins that showed a significant relationship with the severity of the depressive symptom were presented in the table. Results of the bioinformatics analysis of proteins, which were significantly related to the severity of depressive symptom, are presented. The blood protein profiles and the results of the analyses presented in this data article provide detailed information on the proteins associated with mood disorders, and could be used as the basis for further mass spectrometry studies in psychiatric disorders.
